Homemade Onion Soup Mix

I seem to be into making homemade mixes! Check out the Mixes & More tab at the top of this page. (I also recently posted a GravyMix that is very handy to have on hand.)

Add 3 tablespoons of this to sour cream for an quick and easy dip, or stir into a basic white sauce to add another layer of flavor. It is also an essential ingredient in Lorraine’s delicious Pot Roast. 

 

Homemade Onion Soup Mix 

1/2 cup dried onion flakes

1/4 cup t sodium-free DRY beef bouillon granules (do not use paste that must be refrigerated)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the onion flakes, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden and fragrant to trigger the Maillard reaction.
   
2. Allow the toasted flakes to cool completely to prevent any moisture buildup before transferring them into a small mixing bowl or a glass jar.
3. Measure out the bouillon, onion powder, parsley, celery seed, paprika, and black pepper, adding them directly to the cooled onions and whisk together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
   
   
   
4. Transfer the finished mix into an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Shake well before using.

TO USE:  Use 3 tablespoons to replace one standard 1-ounce store-bought packet in any recipe.
